About Sarah

Leading people with the best intentions —
and still feeling like there's something missing.

You might be here because you're dreading a difficult conversation. Or maybe you know your team is out of alignment but can't see a way forward to rebuild trust, belonging, and mission-driven action. Many leaders care deeply for those they lead, but need a risk-free, confidential space to explore a path forward to reestablishing team norms, one that leaves every member of the team feeling heard and invited to build on the best in one another.

Are you wondering how to deepen your leadership and inspire your team to greater cohesion and action?

That's exactly where Sarah works best.

Nonprofit leaders — executive directors, program managers, team leads — bring their toughest social challenges to Sarah when they're ready to dig into the root of team breakdown and explore how to lead through them. What leaders gain through transformative leadership coaching isn’t a script. It's presence: the ability to walk into a difficult moment with clarity, stay in it without shutting down, and come out the other side with the relationship intact and the issue actually resolved.

Sarah has been coaching leaders for over 15 years. She is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation, and holds a BA in Psychology and an MA in Urban Community Development. Her coaching draws on 20+ years spanning nonprofit leadership, foster care advocacy, and organizational development. She understands the specific weight of leading a mission-driven team with limited resources, high stakes, and people who joined the work because they care deeply about their impact on others. What she has learned through this fusion of contexts is that most communication problems aren't about the words. They're about presence — whether the person across from you feels like you're actually there, actually listening, actually willing to be changed by what they say. That conviction is at the center of everything she does as a coach.

You don't have to figure out your next chapter of leadership alone. Book a free 30-minute conversation — no pressure, just clarity on where you are and whether coaching is the right next step.
